How Strong Is Your Committment?

Our Thoughts:

When we make a committment to someone, we are expected to follow through. How many times have you found yourself having to break a committment to someone, either because of a problem, something coming up unexpected, or you just didn't feel like fulfilling it? Are you honest, when you make a committment? Do you look 'down the road' far enough to see if it's feasible to make the committment in the first place?

Did you 'count the cost' [Luke 14:28] beforehand? Did you stop to think that you might not be able to stay commmitted to this person or this action?

When we commit ourselves to God, we should count the cost. One of the cost is giving up the sins and lusts that humans have. Within ourselves, it's hard to not commit sin or have lusts of the eyes or flesh. But, the power that is within us, can keep us from sinning. The Holy Spirit can help us have victory over the smallest or largest sin that might come our way. The Holy Spirit can help us surpass the obstacles that get in our way of our committment to a sin-free life with God. The enemy may come at us, but, ask the Holy Spirit to keep you from all evil, and to sustain your every day.

His Thoughts

Psalms 37:5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

Our Cup:

Heavenly Father, life is hard to live without submitting our lives to you. Help us keep our eyes focused on you and place our full trust in you. The enemy is ready to 'help us fall', but you are there to keep us on the straight and narrow. We give you praise! In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
